ANSWER THIS QUESTION BEFORE YOU PROPOSE

Some years back, A fine young man requested to see me. He mentioned that it was quite important. I obliged; though I was travelling that morning. When he came, he mentioned that he wanted to propose to a particular sister in the church. He was not a member but he comes for our midweek services. He began to speak about […]

DO NOT GO! YOU MAY NEVER RETURN

In 2011 (right after my service year), the Lord told me that “Every company builds its factory where the raw materials are. Go to where I have sent you”. I agreed with the call but I had just one more thing to tick off my to-do list- travel out for three weeks. I was in the documentation phase. I had […]

IN YOUR WALK OF FAITH, LEARN THIS EARLY

In my early years as a full-time minister, I was only assured of five thousand naira every month. It was a seed from a dear one who insisted that it was for me. I would still give four thousand out of it to the only ministry volunteer we had at the time. I would also pay my tithe. I have […]

UNDERSTANDING, NOT AGE!

Many years ago, I was visiting my uncle and aunt. My aunt, her first daughter (who was still a teenager) and I were discussing in the girls’ room.

He told me that it was better to give counsel only to people that I have defined relationships with. He mentioned that giving counsel to people who do not care is a waste of time. My Pastor told some set of […]

“INVITATION TO PREACH” IS NOT YOUR SOURCE

I was visiting an elderly one some years ago. I was still in the early days of full-time ministry. She was really concerned about my survival. She began to ask questions like, “How will you get paid especially in a place like Eruwa?”  As I was still wondering the best way to answer, she said “Well, by the time you […]

DEAL WITH THE SPIRIT OF FEAR 

One of my sons in the Lord who is just growing in the faith mentioned that he had been plagued for a season with the fear of death in his life and his family. He had become fearful. There was even pressure (due to his background) to make some rituals to appease a strange deity.  I laughed and asked him, […]

WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW IT WILL HAPPEN

Some years ago, we were preparing for our annual convention. We had a budget of a hundred and eighty thousand naira (180,000) but we had just about ten percent of that amount. The week before the convention, the pressure of “How will it be?” began to rise. I did not say a word to anyone in the ministry. We simply […]

THANKSGIVING BRIDGES THE GAP

During my service year, I came back from a speaking engagement and I knew I had to say thank you to a dear sister of mine. At that point, she was doing a series on Facebook titled “Purity Series”. She had a group of teachers write on different areas of purity. At the speaking engagement, I was asked a question. […]

THE INITIAL CHEAPER OPTIONS

Christmas and chicken are like five and six. Every time Mum is done frying the chicken, the temptation begins. Well! I lost many times. I would bite out of the chicken. But whenever mum discovers, I end up losing what she would have given me. One of the tactics that the devil deploys in life is to offer to people […]
